Ranj Singh's ex-wife speaks out about their 'painful' and 'messy' divorce after his coming out
Ranj Singh’s ex-wife has spoken publicly about a divorce she calls painful and messy, occurring after the TV medic came out as gay. Sulvinder Samra, who was married to Singh for seven years, recalls that he realized his sexuality during therapy at age 30 and told her in 2009, with their split finalized in 2011. The couple had met in 2003 and wed in a traditional Sikh ceremony in 2006, later surviving by sharing parental duties and careers. On what would have been their 20th anniversary, Samra posted an Instagram reflection that conveyed the depth of heartbreak and lingering questions about happiness and motherhood.
She describes the turning point as three years ago, when she confronted her fears and left her job, inspired in part by her sister’s cancer diagnosis and a broader re-prioritization of life. Samra urged followers not to let the past define their futures, saying people can choose their stories. Singh has publicly discussed coming out with The Big Issue, reflecting on therapy and a sense of unfinished happiness despite career success. He has been the show’s resident medic since 2020, briefly leaving Morning Live speculation about behind‑the‑scenes tensions after six months of absence.
